OT: probably nothing

Bought GUSH April 2020; up 856% to date. Bitcoin is around 300% up over the same time period. I would put those closer in risk than comparing Bitcoin to any market aggregate (e.g. S&P500). Please note that I am NOT recommending anyone buy GUSH. I bought it with money that I was fine putting at risk that was in my "fun" account. Investments like this are basically gambling without the stigma.

I played golf on Memorial Day for the first time since last September. I found..

three crisp $20 bills in one of the pockets of my bag. I love it when that happens.

The three you put there in September now have the purchasing power of two. Thanks, Brandon. **

But how many eggs can I buy with GUSH?

The Fed wrote a post showing the price of eggs in USD and Bitcoin, comparing them over the last year, showing Bitcoin as more volatile and unpredictable.Only problem was they forgot to zoom outhttps://t.co/WrCyaI4NP6 pic.twitter.com/rJVbedAs2z— Nick Neuman (, ) (@Nneuman) June 6, 2022

I should be able to resist. I promise no more poking fun at bitcoin hype via any new threads.

I once bought a beanie baby

For $6, later it was worth $2,000. Still got that thing. Let us know when you convert the crypto to real assets. So far, you’re doing great.

I'll give you one U.S. Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle gold bullion coin for that beanie baby.

Does a real estate purchase with bitcoin gains qualify?

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Absolutely. I hope you Bitcoin bros are able to do that.

To clarify: I will not start any. In the meantime, please send me all your cash and Beanie Babies to invest on your behalf. Thanks in advance.

Same here. Put 25G on gush at election time and now waiting on my first 10 bagger. Then fomo’d 50 on Tesla for a few weeks until I lost 10 pct. That’s all in eth at 15 so can’t complain much except that was my retirement beach house.

I’ll hold all my oil stocks until Nov ‘24 when there will be the largest red wave ever. By then we’ll be dreaming of the good ole days of 5/gal.

I invest my fun money in hookers and blow.

 

[Smoked Toag]

Like any pyramid-type scheme, if you got in early, you did well.

 

[patdog]

How did you manage to lose all that money?

I spent most of it on hookers and blow. The rest I just wasted.
